DENISON, Texas — The city of Denison is asking qualified firms to submit proposals for a citywide historic resources survey, with responses due Aug. 10.
RFP No. 2026-002 is posted on the city’s bid page as an open solicitation. The city published the request July 18, 2026, at 6 a.m. and set the closing date and time at 2 p.m. Aug. 10, 2026. The posting is listed under current bids and RFPs and shows a status of open.
What the city is buying
The bid title identifies the work as a citywide historic resources survey. The public summary page does not list a maximum budget or a page count for the final report. Related documents are available through the city’s bid portal for firms that create a website account or download the packet from the posting.
Donna Dow, Denison’s Main Street director, is listed as the contact person at ddow@denisontx.gov and 903-465-2720, Ext. 2452. The Main Street office is the city division most often tied to downtown preservation, design standards and heritage tourism work.
Why it matters locally
Cities use historic resources surveys to identify buildings, neighborhoods and structures that may qualify for local landmarks, National Register consideration or simply better planning records. The finished inventory can guide Main Street grant applications, rehabilitation advice and future zoning debates. The RFP itself does not approve demolition, redesignation, tax abatements or construction.
For residents, the practical near-term step is limited: watch for a selected consultant and any later public meetings where draft maps or property lists are presented. Property owners are not required to do anything solely because a survey RFP is on the street.
Firms interested in the work should download the full packet from the city bid posting before the August deadline. Questions about scope and deliverables should go to the Main Street contact listed on the solicitation.
